P-plate driver caught doing 141kmh (From The Age)

December 29, 2004 - 12:41PM

A young P-plate driver was caught speeding near Newcastle at 141kph - 71kph over the speed limit - NSW Police said today.

About 8.30am (AEDT) yesterday, Lake Macquarie Highway Patrol officers detected a northbound Nissan Skyline travelling at 141kph on Charlestown Road, Kotara.

They issued the 21-year-old driver with a speeding ticket and suspended his licence for six months.

Last month, P-plate driver Emile Dousset, 20, died when he crashed a high-performance Nissan Skyline at speeds of up to 180kph on the central coast.

Also killed were his passengers Carl Homer, 33, and pregnant 15-year-old Natasha Schyf.

Last week engaged couple Robert Peov, 21, and Joanna Mourania, 20, died when their Nissan Skyline sports car hit a power pole at Milperra in Sydney's west.

The deaths prompted police to warn young drivers to slow down, while the NSW government is considering imposing restrictions on young drivers with high-performance cars in an attempt to reduce road deaths.

=========================================================

I'm loosing faith to owning a skyline now reading the above. Why does the media outline Nissan Skyline giving all of us a bad rep? I'm sure there are plenty of unreported accidents on the news with other cars but everytime it seem like a Nissan Skyline is the main attention now. What are all your thoughts?

They need to leave the Hondas alone too :D

I don't drive like an idiot, but I've noticed I'm now tarred with the same brush as those that do. I don't cop much crap but I've noticed a lot of people (who looked to be the types that sit in front of ACA and TT going "yeah... that's right... damn hoons" every time a car drives across the screen) give me the evil eye.

I parked at the shops in Beenleigh the other day and an oldish guy wandered over.

Him: That's one of them Nee-san Skylines isn't it?

Me: Yep.

Him: They're dangerous, heaps of people die in them. I've seen it on the telly.

Me: Heaps of people die in Commodores too, are they dangerous?

Him: Nah, they're Australian made, they're built to last!

Me: Pfft, righto

I really didn't see the point in continuing the conversation any further, but I kept a close eye on my car :)

is it just skylines? i know the p platers in general are gaining bad publicity, and i hear about rex's do but i never hear about supras or soarers or 180's an 200's for that matter... maybe supras aren't as common as the rest but the others.....

Its all imports basically.

Drive an import and you are automatically labelled as a hoon

Drive an import and you will get harassed by cops

Drive an import and you are public enemy no 1

After all, it doesnt matter that crime is up by nearly 10 times in victoria(according to The Age) because the government would rather raise revenue through us instead of keeping the state safe

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
